Only Europeans Understand Sexy

The very first Pedro Almodovar film that I ever watched, not that I knew it at the time, was quite possibly the most sexually charged film I had ever seen. Tie Me Up, Tie Me Down is one of those films that the brain instantly puts into the archives to draw down for inspiration from time to time. Although Americans claim to understand sexiness and films such as Basic Instinct would have us believe that Americans are sexy, to my mind sexiness is something which the European film makers seem to do much better than the rest and Pedro Almodovar is quite possibly their pin up boy.
